Guo Shihu continued to explain:

"And, the five poisons can also be divided by the five elements, the ancients believed that the five poisons correspond to the five elements, I looked through the ancient and modern strange Tan, and found that it belonged to the Maoshan School of Taoism in an article recorded, the five poisonous geckos, poisonous snakes, toads, scorpions, centipedes, respectively, correspond to the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, which is somewhat different from the statement found in the online encyclopedia, but I think the description in this article is more accurate, or more in line with the Taoist practice theory."

"For example, it is believed that among the five poisons, the poisonous snake is wood, among which the green snake is the best, because the green snake can be called a small green dragon, and it also inhabits the grass on the trees all year round, so the green snake is wood. The toad belongs to water, and gold gives birth to water, so there is a saying of the golden toad, and the golden toad has always been regarded as a good beast and a fairy. ”

"Scorpions are highly poisonous, especially the tail needle pricking people will produce severe pain, such as burning fire, and scorpions prefer to be born in arid areas, especially desert areas are the most toxic. So the scorpion corresponds to the fire in the five elements. Centipedes are more abundant in the soil of stone crevices, and it makes sense to correspond to the soil line. ”

"As for geckos, there are not many legends in this regard, but because some geckos are golden, as if they have golden scale armor, and there are pure white tigers like white tigers, they like to live in the eaves, and they are not only preying on flying insects on weekdays, but they are also considered to be golden."

After describing the five poisons, he opened another page with five new visualizations.

"Let's not talk about the controversy over the attributes of the five poisons and five elements for the time being, Xiao Fei, take a look at this Five Spirits Visualization Diagram circulated by the Shangqing Sect."

Gao Jingfei looked at it and saw five visualization pictures of the five spirits.

"The five spirits are the five spirits and five divine beasts of heaven and earth that the ancients of the Xia Kingdom believed. They are the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu and the Qilin, which are the auspicious divine beasts representing the central soil on the basis of the four spirit beasts. The Han Confucians said that the "Zuo Family" all thought that the five spirits were matched with the five directions, the dragon belonged to wood, the phoenix belonged to fire, the lin belonged to the earth, the white tiger belonged to gold, and the turtle belonged to water. ”

It can be seen here that in the Han Dynasty, Xuanwu also has two sayings, one is the state of turtle and snake symbiosis, such as the "Jing Barnyard " records that "the bullfighting girl has a turtle and snake body in the seven houses of the dangerous room, so it is called Xuanwu", and the other is the form of a turtle similar to the dragon turtle giant turtle. For example, in the legend, Longbo fished for the Ao, Nuwa beheaded the giant Ao, and the four-legged pillar of heaven and so on. ”

Hearing this, Gao Jingfei pointed to this five-spirit visualization diagram and asked:

"Brother Hu, I know the five spirits, but you don't think the image of this green dragon and the unicorn in the middle is wrong? And it's not a unicorn that is marked here, but a yellow dragon. ”

"The statement about the five spirits is actually controversial."

Guo Shihu explained:

"In addition to the usual Qinglong, Vermilion Bird, White Tiger, Xuanwu and Qilin, in Huainanzi, there is another record of the five spirits, that is, the five divine beasts of the Green Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermilion Bird, the Xuanwu and the Yellow Dragon, also known as the five beasts of Tianguan. There is no unicorn here but a yellow dragon, and this dragon is not the dragon we often see now, that is, the form of a long snake. ”

"Those who have a little historical research know that the ancient dragons were actually originally tiger-like but more slender four-legged beasts, including the legendary ancestral dragon that helped the emperor fight, that is, the winged Ying dragon, which is actually more similar to the Western dragon, but it doesn't have that kind of big-bellied lizard face."

"At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, the form of the dragon gradually evolved into a snake-like dragon and a dragon, which is more similar to an artistic process, and the reason should be for the beauty of clothing and pictures."

"As for the difference between the unicorn and the yellow dragon, I don't think there is much difference, the unicorn is generally considered to be a dragon species, and the unicorn, Pixiu, evil spirit, Tianlu These divine beast forms, you see if it is very similar to the dragon image of the Han Dynasty and the pre-Qin era, the difference is that there are more or less horns or scales, and the style of the tail and head is different."

Gao Jingfei saw the pattern that Guo Shihu called up, and found that there was indeed not much difference on it.

"I see, Brother Hu, you are really knowledgeable."

Then without waiting for Guo Shihu's blushing face to be praised, he continued to ask:

"Brother Hu, do you mean that in our future cultivation, we will give up the visualization diagram in the Five Poisons Divine Skill and focus on this set of Five Spirit Visualization Diagrams?"

Guo Shihu nodded:

"That's right, if you look at the meridian acupuncture points marked in this Five Spirits diagram, after the dots and lines are connected, is it basically the same as the meridian running route of the Five Poisons Divine Skill, but it is just different from the Five Poisons Visualization Diagram!"

"So I think they are all acupuncture points involving the five internal organs meridians, but the emphasis on the acupuncture points is different, and there will be no problem with replacing the five poison visualization maps with the five spirit visualization diagrams for more than 98 percent, as for the remaining negative odds, I think we should not be so unlucky."

In terms of cultivation, Guo Shihu still has some ambitions, he does not intend to limit himself to the Five Poisons Divine Skill, which is a secret martial art of the left way, but after solving the problem of having and not having it, he is ready to move closer to the development of immortal cultivation.

Moreover, because of the connection between the Five Poisons Divine Skill and the Dao method of cultivating the Five Visceral Gods in the Huang Ting Jing of the Shangqing School, this idea has a relatively large success rate.

Gao Jingfei listened to what this second brother Guo said, and he also felt that there was no problem, and the Five Poisons Divine Skill was only a foundation building technique for him after all, and the low level was also convenient for trial and error.

Even if there are some problems in cultivation, you can throw them away in time at any time, and as long as you have restorative medicine props at hand, you are not afraid of damage.

Of course, the most important thing is that the image of the five spirits sounds and looks much taller than the five visceral gods visualized by the image of the five poisons.

After discussing it, the two unanimously decided to change the visualization diagram and contemplate the form of the five spirits.

Moreover, the two of them have just completed their first formal cultivation, and they have just had the prototype of the chapter of the Lung God Haohua, and it is relatively easy to change the visualization diagram, if the Five Visceral Gods have already completed most of the visualization, then it will be troublesome to change it again.

Gao Jingfei, who was anxious, immediately began to try, quietly turned on the effect of the concentration talisman, and then took advantage of the state to memorize the white tiger diagram belonging to the lung god in the Five Spirits Visualization Diagram, and then meditated and cultivated.

Seeing Gao Jingfei trying, Guo Shihu, who already had an idea in his heart, was not in a hurry, on the one hand, it was also to take care of Gao Jingfei and avoid any problems in his cultivation process, after all, although he speculated that there would be no problem with changing the visualization map, but what if.

Therefore, Guo Shihu did not immerse himself in cultivation, but sat in the living room to take care of Gao Jingfei while fiddling with the bottles and cans he bought.

In fact, regarding whether to refine poison and raise Gu, Guo Shihu was still a little hesitant before.

After all, in the inherent impression brought to people by novels, films and television and other works, those who fiddle with Gu poison are the kind of shakers and evil people who wear tatters, fiddle with poisonous snakes and poisonous insects all day long, and look ugly and evil.

But after thinking about it, he still couldn't resist the temptation to improve his strength, and was ready to try the use of Gu cultivation techniques and alchemy in the Five Poison Secrets.

Although these two are basically the standard for villains and evil characters, both in the novel and in people's inherent impressions, he also exculpates himself in his heart.

"Whether it is Gu cultivation or poison refining, it is just a means of external things, and it will not affect one's heart, there is no difference between good and evil in ability, only the human heart is different. My heart is good, good, and beautiful, and my people are good people......"

Sure enough, ACG is good at self-regulation or self-hypnosis.

Of course, he is more afraid of rats but not so afraid of insects, which is also the biggest reason why he chose this.
